:D HEY ALL :blink:

im in your help again as i need to know weather a rb25 turbo is the same size as a rb20.

****the reason for this is...****

i have dropped a rb20 im my e30 bmw and after this conversion my turbo is just clearing the chassis rail by 20mm so there is not much room to make it any bigger so i need a turbo basically the exact same size. and if the rb25 does happen to be the same size what is involved to install the rb25 e.g. pipes the target for the power it will produce is 200kw atw or a bit over

your helpis required thanks :):rolleyes:

dont quote me, i think rb25 turbo on an RB20 will get you about 180-190 with supporting mods, fuel pump, injectors, computer, zorst, cooler. But I think it would be stretching it to get 200. Someone will know better but thats the general power area im pretty sure.

as for the physical size of the turbo It's slightly larger.

hope this helps

an rb25 turbo on a rb20det will push around 180-190kw depending on tune (sometimes hit 200kw depending on dyno)

I currently have a hiflow rb20 turbo which will be getting installed next week along with a tune.

I'll let you know how much power I will gain with the hiflow.

Although there are different stages of hiflow so it depends how much you willing to spent to get it past 200kw

Some info here;

A gts4 with rb20 and 1450kg is not a WRX beater in no way shape or form.

besides, this fella has an RB20 in an E30 (I would have gone sr20 but anyway)

that is the reason for his turbo upgrade issue. nothing physically bigger will fit in the stock spot.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      A Boy's Love For His Rb20

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
